Waar serveer je ’m bij?
The house's vinho novo: two and a half months in amphora, and then into bottle. For two months the wine stays on the skins in the clay jars without temperature control — which gives a supple, juicy structure rather than a taut one. Terracotta also lets through a little more oxygen than steel, which rounds the tannin straight away.
